our mission is ...

to go where no man/woman/room 9 student has gone before!

Renowned British cosmologist, Stephen Hawkings, the really really brainy guy - as brainy as two lockleys and a logan roasted together, with a sprinkling of ernesto seasoning, mr brainy chips on the side and smothered in a lachlan and justin sauce - said:

"People must colonise planets in other solar systems, travelling there using Star Trek-style propulsion, or face extinction"

read on - what do you think? which planets would be most likely to be populated first? What would we gain from moving away to less hospitable planets?

geography quiz

Can you beat my brainy cousin, the spy, who got 91%?
Can you beat me, your beloved [cough!] teacher, who only got 75% on my first go?
It is an easy, interactive 'quiz' about the countries in Europe. You just have to drag 'n' drop countries onto a larger map to show where they fit it. You will be given a score. It is easy and fun.
I suggest most of you either have some distant connection with some of these countries or will visit them in the future as part of your big O.E..

To try it out, go to student resources, ICT classroom, room 9 folder and look for "Map of Europe" power point.

Try it and post your score.
Good luck!
